Just science, without the involvement of public health, big business, high finance politicians and federal elections, was unable to deal effectively with cross contamination of research cell lines by #HeLa cells back during Nixon's #WarOnCancer (see #MichaelGold's #AConspiracyOfCells 1986.

The systems in place now aren't up to the task of containing Covid-19 IMO.
Which strongly suggests they'll fail on #ClimateChange too.
Though like East Germany showed, things can change quickly.

That sounds worryingly similar to what is presented in the 1986 book about the mass contamination with HeLa of cell lines used in research laboratories.
An important piece of science that is much neglected.
